Their love story wasn't there yet.
That part was still far, far down the line.

Rocco realized with a mental thud that he had jumped to conclusions, letting his overactive imagination run wild.
His face flushed bright red with embarrassment.
"R-right! That's it! I must've been half-asleep and was just trying to make a cool exit!"
Rocco hastily tried to mask the fact that he'd been entertaining some rather inappropriate fantasies.
No, no, no, I totally knew what was happening!
Not daydreaming at all!
He plastered on an awkward smile as cold sweat trickled down his temple.
